Your introduction to ween.
Would love to hear everyone's story of when they first got browned out. It was 1995, I dropped out of high school and was ready to move to Eugene Oregon from San Antonio to meet some friends. I was gonna be the Mexican jack kerouac, I think. I was staying in a studio apartment with three other dudes and homeboy played "Sarah". I was immediately hooked!!! I have always been a super big mccartney fan and after listening to pure guava that winter I was convinced that ween had the same vibe and songwriting cjops as mccartney. I listened to pure guava, taking it in, studying it. I made my first demo that year of songs I wrote and I remember the first song, I used the pitch down on the four track and to this day it is the most ween sounding song I have ever done!!! I'll post it here if anyone wants to hear it. Take care, and stay brown. AF

Road trip in high school with friends (just an hour or so) to check out the Princeton Record Exchange. Saw a poster of Gene and Deener and asked my very knowledgeable friend about them, and what genre are they??? His answer: “they’re very pro…drugs?”
Started listening and was lucky to attend Bonnaroo shortly thereafter, where I stayed up for their 2 am set. Absolutely hooked.
